The letter was written to Mis Nullle Bargitunt, who claim to have lawn engaged to lie nuirrl(l to Roche, In Ignorance of the fact that he has a wife living.

Hocho has hud an eventful career. Thir teen years ago ho was tho rector of tho Church of the Mediator and a warm friend of Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr. At that time, one dork night, Raehe wos beaten senseless nnd robbed on Fifty-first street, near Fourth avenue. It was stated that blackmail wa directed agolnst Mr. Tyng, owing to Wall street speculations. Mr. JOHN OWES n('IIK. Ruche undertook to settle with the black- mailers and wua waylaid by them, It wos 1 shortly afterward that Mr. Raehe followed Mr. Tyng s example and drifted Into the' life Insurance business. He made a suc cess In his new field, and up to the time of hi disappearance was considered one of tho most caalile men In the business. Ho left New lork on reb.

The next evening Haclio wits Iiilssing, and although several clews were run out by detective no trwe of htm had been found up to the nsvlnt of the present letter from Rouen. A few day after his disoppenroncelt became known that Roche waa Indebted to the coiiitmnv In the sum of alsiut :i,(SSi, and that his notes for about 14,000 had gone to protest at one of the banks. dinner, I determined to bunt up an old press comrade, Frank Uillord, who, 1 had heard, was tho editor of the Alex ander Dnily Post. The rain was coin ing down with tropical vengeance, and from all the numerous bills upon which the Empire City, as they call it, is sit uated, miniature torrent of water poured down and inundated tho TeAro Hat, the business portion of the town. It was an uninviting night, but the stimulus of an empty pocket overcame my repugnance to (juit the cheeiinl halls of host Mueller. Luckily the of llces of The Post were close handy, so I was uot quite drowned by the time I was shaking G iff old by the blind. He welcomed my advent in n reassur ing manner, which eased my mind somewhat us to the inevitable inativais quart d'hetire. We had the usual i4iop talk. Fisher of the (Julgong Adver tiser had died in a tit of delirium tre .mens, Clarke of The Argus had bem dis missed for sending in a glowing criti cism of a theatrical performance which had not taken place, Holloway of the V'aillato Times was editing the Tannin- g,i Trumpet, Dillon had ratted and now swore by Bogle, the premier of the day; .lock Danderson had abandoned journal ism and was keeping a public house, and so forth. Then Muster Frank di luted upon his own prospects. Ho had but two complaints to make firstly, his proprietor was nu old luntej secondly, his subeditor was a young fool. My ex perience is that most newspaper pro prietors are old brutes, and that most subeditors are not so wise as they would be thought. "Subeditor!" said Frank. "Ho's excellent at the 'devour ing element,' admirable at 'casting a gloom over the entire community' and altogether unapproachable wdien he baa to record the fact that 'our esteemed and enterprising tellow townsmen, Stains & Kircaldio, have added to their emporium a now shop front, which is u credit to the town and quite mi orna ment to TeAro street;' but, as to subed iting, he knows as much about it aa Mount Cook does of a policeman," Sympathizing deeply with my friend, for I, too, had had bitter experience of pasto nnd scissors men, I suggested that perhaps on the whole it wouldn't be amiss if Mr. Mosely were sent about bis business and 1 were installed in bis chair. Frank jumped at the idea, but explained that tho "old brnte" hud nn absuid quixotic belief in Mosely because that eminent paste pottist, though not a genius, waa always sober. A deep plot was then concocted where by the old brute waa to be got round ami Mosely circumvented. As n part of this plan it was arranged that I should attend a performance to be given that evening at tho Odd Fellows' hall by Professor Bedu, who described himself as the premier equilibrist tight rope walker of the world and champion prestidigitator of the universe. I wiib to return to the ollico and write aa ex cellent nn ncconnt us I could. "You'll have, in fact," said Frank, "to 'fake' it." And I did. Tho rain was still pelting down as 1 struggled to tho bull. The toads weio in places two feet deep in water. What with the wind, the rain mid the dull ness of the streets there was no gas m Alexander in those days 1 had consid erable difficulty in getting to the placo at all, but at last I reached it, present ed my ticket to nn attendant who glared at me as savagely as a bulked box keeper nnd entered the room. The place was well lighted, warm and comforta ble, and was a pleasing contrast to the horrors of the night outside. A deject ed looking pianist was playing a lively tunc, and nil things were ready for tho feast. All things but one the andi ence. There wasn't n soul in the place but myself, and I was a deadhead. Seeing that it waa now half past 8, and that the performance should have com menced nt 8, this did not look promis ing. However, my business was to re port the show, so down 1 sat and read the programme through halt a dozen times, dimly ccnscioiis the while that the piano was informing me that "there was a good time coming, boya, only wait a little longer." What with Altbouf h by many believed to be incura ble, there ia the evidence of hundred of living witneeaea to the fact that, in all ita earlier atages, conaumption ta a curable diaeasc.

Hut a larger hoy, turning a corner, suddenly ran into the mail carrier and ovrrturneil him. A anou as he recovered himself he the music and the lulling effect of the raindrops pattering with monotonous regularity on the shingled roof, 1 fell asleep and awoke to find the dejected pianist thundering out : "There is nne 1 luck nliout the house; there is nae luck at nil." ! 1 looked at my watch. Five min ; ntes to 0, and I was still the oldest in ; habitant. There was to lie nae luck i that night; that was certain. The pian ist disappeared behind the curtain. 1 sat etolidly on. I was theie to report that show, and report it I wa deter mined to, whatever happened. Every thing happens to him who waits. This hapjiened to me. Professor Reda, in a shabby suit of evening clothes, look ing as though they were suffering from a long course of being let ont on hire, came before the curtain, and addressing the audience said, "Sir." The novelty rf the exordium aroused my attention, and lookiug at the professor closely I the professor began to talk less formally. Well, sir, they told me down south Alexander was one of the best pitches in the profession. It doesn't look much like it. Seems to me about the one horsedest place ever I was In, except Naipaw, nnd that ain't even a one don key place. Not a soul iu the house but you, sir, nnd this here blessed show has cost me out of pocket '.110. Paid in advance too. A couple o' pound for the hall and the lights, a pound for tho planner, a couple o' pound for fixing up I the rope nnd 10 bob for a money taker. ; Think of that, sir! Ain't it hard? Ain't it cruel? Ten bob for a money taker!" That did seem hard indeed, but 1 ex plained that 1 thought that shows usual ly took especial care to have n money taker of their own for obvious leasons. ! "So they do, sir, and sodo I. My wife take tho money always always has done evjr since I took to the business but my luck's dead out. She's up at Hi it I ten's you know, sir, tho hotel in bed with a smashed foot.

It's been a-coming down, down, down like this for three blessed days, i Not a soul in tho house. Ten bob for a money taker! Help yourself, sir." I I suggested that ho tiiiht have better luck tho next night and corroborated : the opinion be had heard down south that Alexander was un excellent place us a rule for performances of all kinds. "No, sir. The luck's out, and I'm about broke, that's what I ain, and I ain't got the money. There's the hall, they will have it in advance; there's the planner, they wants that in advance, nnd there's the advertisements not a line they'll give mo till I've paid for to day's ad, nor a lino, not The Post, nor The Independent, nor none of 'em. 'Ad vance New Zealand.' That's their mot Ij, is it? Pay in advance it ought to be. Ten bob for a money taker!" Then a brilliant idea occurred to me. The professor was stone broke. So waa 1. 1 knew what the professor did not apparently that these black noi' casters at Alexander never lasted more than three days. Iu all probability the next day would be bright and lovely, cold nnd sunshiny. If so, the sloppy toads would in a few hours he hard, firm and dry, for the so 1 is limestone. 1 ki ew how prone the peop'eo' all con C.i ions wore to shows. The in miy for l he hall and the ' plm ner" Ico.ild bor row Irom Uillord. The ads I could ninmigo with u little persuasion, not un mixed with cheek, and us to the money taker I'd be my own, so that "10 bo'i" and tho mortification attaching thereto would be saved. Happy thought! I'd risk it. "Professor Beda," said I, "otherwise Harry Becker" ho gave a start "yes, yon were in my company of the Forest rangers. I've grown a beard since und altered a good deal no donbt. Now, professor, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll pay for tho bull and tho 'piuimer,' and the ads tomorrow. You do your enter tainment. I'll take tho money, and aft er i'10 we'll share tho receipts." "I should never have known yon, sir, with that beard. The old Forest ran gers! Do yon remember Captain Rose being shot alongside me nnd you, sir, at Wuiapn? How ho did bleed! 1 should never have known yon, sir. Well, air, I'll tell you what it is, it ain't no risk to me, nnd I'll do it. I can't be no worse off than I am. How I'm to leave the town and pay tho hotid and doctor and passngo money on to Tanranga, blessed if I know. I'll do it, sir. Shake hands on it. It's a burgain. Me and yon divides after 10 pound." We cemented that arrangement with another whisky, nnd away I posted to tho office of The Post. The venture looked unpromising enough. The rain was still sluicing down with purposeful pertinacity. I half repented of my bar gain. But the bond was as binding as though it had been signed, sealed and delivered and witnessed l y all the at torneys on the rolls. So I sloshed my way to tho office of The Post knee deep in mud and water. The "old brute" had not turned tip nnd was, in fact, on one of his "bursts, " as certain tits of temiKirary aberiatiou are culled in the colony. 1 propounded the mutter to Uillord. He was more cautious than to me appeared good. But I wooed him with my golden tongue, not only ont of tho harmless necessary fivei, but out of a letter to the other palters, guarantee ing the money for the next day's ad. "How alsiut the show?" said Uitfotd. "Mgnif)ccut! Von wait and see what t write about it when 1 return." And way I went to The Independent and The Heiald, polished np the professor's ads, and as no report had liecn done at either place I wrote as puffing a para graph as I thought they would stand for each paper and then hurried back to The Poet to concoct aa flaming an ac count as I could contrive, and 1 think I or twice. "Come. I any, this Is too hot. The old mnn'll have a lit." The old mail wn the "old brute," "Well, from what yon tell me," I re plied, "he's likely to haveone anyhow, so It won't matter." Had the professor been Iloudln, Heller, tho Wizard of the North and Heir Fiikell combined I couldn't have been more lavish of my admiration. It is usual to conclude this kind of article with some notice of the audience present, and here for a minute or two 1 was fairly nonplused. But the old story occurred to me of the audience of ono at the Poitsmoutli theater. The peiformance was proceeding merrily when Hie manager missed the audience. Hurrying to the front, he asked anxious ly, "Where, where is the audience?" j "Sir," said tho boxkeejier, "he has gone to get soinobeer, but he is delight ed with the performance and says he'll bo back in a minute. " "Let business i proceed, " said the manager, Audit j ditl pioceed. Why I do not know, but . this story suggested to mo a way out of I th difficulty I was in, 1 concluded I with the following pel oration: "Alto 1 Rcther Professor Bedu'a entertainment i is one of the most admirable and enter i taining that have ever visited Alexander I or the colonies. At its conclusion the entiio nudieuce arose aa one man und applauded the professor to the echo." It must indeed have been "to the echo," Ui third was nervous about tho article; but, as I pointed out to him, no one could possibly contradict a word that I had written, and ultimately my notice, which extended over a column and a quarter, was allowed to pass bolus bolun. The rain bad ceased when 1 returned at 8 in the morning to the hotel. Half a dozen times before daybreak I was ont of bed inspecting the weather. No rain, the clouds had cleared off, and at S o'clock the stars were shining. A cold, bright morning succeeded. At breakfast I beard people asking, "Were yon at the hall last night?" "No. Were yon?' "No." At luncheon the mayor of the city said, "It's an odd thing; I've asked every one I've seen today about the performance at the Odd Fellows' ball, and not a soul seems to have been there." And I inwardly thanked Mr. Mayor for an excellent advertisement. The professor and the other persons concerned held their tongues. 1 bad to make it worth their while to do so. "Ten bob for a money taker" devel oped into a promise of a sovereign if the show paid. And pay it did. The seat plan at Lyon's, the bookt-eller, was well spotted with names by 0 o'clock. It was un off day at the house of representatives, it was the height of the Alexander sea son, nnd the evening turned out one of those brilliant, cold, starlight nights that New Zealand alone can pro duce. The doors were opened at half past 7, and I ensconced myself, wearing a pair of green spectacles, in the pay place. The melancholy musician struck up a lively tune, and at 17 minutes to 8 the first shilling for a back seat came in. I have it now. Luckily shillings and half crowns came iu plentifully at first, for bad any one tendered a sov ereign and wanted change I should have been considerably embarrassed. By and by the front seats (5 shillings) began to pour in, nnd up to a quarter past 8 I was taking money as fust us I could receive It. The show was a great success to oa. What the audience thooghtof it I dou't know. I do know that the professor and I divided 53 12s. Od. The plot suc ceeded, the old brnto was malleable, Mosley became "our reporter," and I was for two years subeditor of the Alex ander Daily Post, R. Halkett Lord In London Theater. IIOITT'N M'HOOf.

"Have you ever noticed the keen desire of the wise, sensible man to play with a garden bosef" asked a well known Oma ha man of a reporter. "Well, ( guess I have no great kick coining," he continued, "for I am aa big a chump a any one else, due summer evening my wife told my son to go out and sprinkle the lawn. The boy grabbed the hose and wa doing the Job in good shape. I thought he waa hav ing too much fun, and It seemed to be a most pleasant job, too, for the evening was very sultry. My wife and I bad ac cepted Invitation for a party that even ing. I had ou my evening dres suit and wa waiting for my liettcr half to .make her appearance, Iu order to show my paternal authority I went nut to law the job and began to give order like the chief of a volunteer country lire depart ment. In order to more fully impress my elTspring with my superior knowledge, 1 grabbed hold of the hose and undertook to show hi in bow It wa done. The young man looked at me with disgust and took refuge upon the porch. "1 opened the seance by playfully turn ing the stream on the dog, which was ly ing In the shade to keep cool. I then be gan to play water over the lawn iu a sci entific manner, nnd soon became aoab anrlied III the work that I did not notice that I wa getting water all over my shoes and the lower part of my pantaloons. My son said nothing, but he must have kept up a lively thinking. A the feeling grew on me, I became possessed with a desire to wet everything In sight, and In twist ing the hose while walking around I loos ed a coupling over which I waa standing and wa deluged with spray. This brought me hack to my sense, and realizing that I had rendered my ilrtss suit unfit to wear that evening I made an exclamation that would not look well In print. My wife and a lady friend who was going with us were standing behind me, having Just emerged from the house. They heard my profani ty, nnd my wife, who I a devout church member, said, 'Why, James, I am aston ished at your using such awful language,' She startled me, and in my confusion I (Implied the confounded hoae. There was n kink In it, and as soon as It struck the ground it began to twist and squirm around like a snake. The water flew iu all direction, hut most of It seemed to strike me or the ladies. My son and the dog howled their delight in a shrill duet, and the neighbors Joined In the chorus. I wa Hooking wet, so was my wife and her friend. We finally made our escape Into tho house, but you ought to have Keen us. We looked like we bad passed through a flood. My wife wa so mad that she could not speak for several minute, nnd she only gave me a contemptuous look, and w ith her friend retired tochnnge her dress. I went nut and kicked the dog. My son and I held a short but very satisfactory Interview, We didn't go to the party. 1 came down town, and the clock in the steeple was striking 8 before I started for home, so vou can guess the rest, I man aged to si'iare myself with my wife by getting her a new dress.

The Ameer Kept at Home ThriHigh Fear That When the Cut's Away, Klc. The ameer of Afghanistan, who in consideration of a big unmial subsidy and frequent lavish present is Eng land's very good friend and trusty ully against Russian designs iu lndiu, is once more debating whether it Is safe to leave bis country a few months in order to pay a visit to Queen Victoria. It is the English fashion to picture the lutter day Afghans ns fanatically loyal to their sovereign and devcted to peace ful pursuits, but Ameer Abdur Rahman knows better and fears to leave bis de voted subjects to themselves or to ex pose them to the probable temptations of Russian agents even temporarily. The truth is that the British govern ment shares the ameei 's distrust and is by no means anxious to see his highness in England. Negotiations are therefore proceeding tosecuro in bis stead a visit from bis two sons, Prince Habbibnlla and Prince Mahomed Ulnar, said to be sninrt young fellows, who are carefully educated to believe that their bread, butter and other blessings depend upon English good will. At present the princes are devoted to each other, but they will not be Afghans if, when their respected father dies, they do not have a fierce fight for the succession. Then will come Russia's opportunity, as Eng land knows very well. London Truth. Hetty Green's Nerve. Once when "John J, Cisco wn Hetty Green's hanker she came Into the estab lishment with several hundred thousand dollars' worth of securities iu the black bag. She said she had walked all the way down town nnd was tired. The bank er expostulated with her for her reckless ness iu taking such n risk of attack ami robbery on the street. "Why didn't yon comedown In a car riage?" he demti tided. "Vou may be able to ride in calls, Cis co," said the richest woman in America sharply, "but I can't afford It." Mrs. Greeu used to keep all her plate and diamonds as well as her securities In the strong boxen of theCiscos, and once a month she would go down there and polish np the articles and cut her own cou pon. She keeps up the practice today at the Chemical bank. One day a report floated around Wall street that Cisco was in trouble. The report was not verified, but It reached Mrs. (ireen' ears, nnd she went at once to the hunk and demanded every cent of her account. She had $750, 000 on deposit there. Cisco protested that the withdrawal of such a large single amount in one day would ruin him, hut this made no difference to Mrs. Oreen. She demanded her money and got It. It required two cnbs to carry away all her strong boxes. The hankers failed the next day. Xew York World.

In 1377 a "tax unheard of before" was imposed by parliament, which took the form of a poll tux, graduated chiefly ac cording to rank, though partly according to property. Dukes had to pay 6 13s. 4d.i earls, 4; barons, 2; knights, 1; squires, 6s. 8d., or, if they had uo land, 8s. 4d. Beggars were exempt. Vet the whole amount collected was under 25, 000. The poll tax having failed, the country reverted to the previous system of granting fifteenths and tenths. The first indication of an income tax occurs in 1435, when an act was pissed imposing a tax on every person "seized of manors, lands, tenements, rents, an nuities, offices or any other possessions." But, although we have here the idea of income tax, yet this mode of raising a revenue is generally considered to have been introduced by Pitt in 1799. The rate was 10 per eent, and it produced about 6,000,000. After the peace of! Amiens, Addington repealed it on the ground that it ought to be exclusively reserved for times of war, but reimposed it, for the same reason, when the war broke out again in the following year. It was very unpopular and was repealed in 1806, as soon as possible after the close of the great war. The tax was reimposed by Peel in 1842 for four years, bis object being "to re lieve trade and commerce from the tram mels by which they were bound" by re pealing other taxes in bis opinion more Ininnous. e were.
